Why this name?
The less moving parts the less there is to fix!
Do you play live?
Yes we have played live, loved it and loathed it probably in equal measure, depending on the venue, the PA, the audience etc. Best moment: When Stanton grabbed 2 unearthed mics and did a perfect forward somersault landing on his arse with the guitar still strapped to him.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes the possibilities of music making and music distribution limitless! The knock-on effect is nothing but positive: complete freedom for the artist, a ready audience anywhere anytime, release dates whenever you feel like it...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Mmm...possibly. It depends on whats being offered!
